Celebrating International Mountain Day by reaching new heights! Congratulation to Weber’s Ghaleb Zeidan for summiting Lobuche East at 6,119 m, proudly flying the Weber Shandwick flag after passing through Everest Base Camp. Echoing the spirit of the mountains with every step! #WeberShandwickMENAT #WorkAtWeber #MountainDay #SummitSuccess #EchoTheSpirit

Weber Shandwick, in partnership with The Marketing Society, hosted ‘The Art & Science of Ethical Persuasion’ as part of our Think Equal initiative. Led by Leopold Ajami, this workshop explored science-backed strategies of ethical persuasion for driving positive change. We also discussed gender diversity in GCC marcomms leadership—highlighting progress, challenges, and the optimism driving us forward. Together, we can create a more inclusive future. Watch the highlights of our event. #WomenLeaders #Marcomms #PR #Communications #EthicalPersausion #ThinkEqual #Influence #WorkAtWeber #PeopleFirst @themarketingsoc @leopoldajami

Bracelet-swapping isn’t just for Swifties – it’s a time-honored tradition that can induce positive vibes for everyone! And because we love positivity and connection, we embraced (pun intended) the chance to create unique, personalized bracelets for our colleagues. It was wholesome, mindful, relaxing activity that created special new connections (and memories!) across our regional offices in MENAT. #PeopleFirst #WorkAtWeber #WeberShandwickMENAT #FriendshipBracelets

The inaugural Think Equal survey explored gender diversity in our industry, asking pressing questions about leadership, sentiment and training. While progress has been made, there’s still work to be done, with more than half of respondents saying that their marcomms division or organisation has a low representation of women in leadership. The purpose of Think Equal is to bolster the pipeline of female leadership for future generations. Together, we can accelerate change and create a more equitable future. #WomenLeaders #Marcomms #PR #Communications #EthicalPersausion #ThinkEqual #Influence #WorkAtWeber #PeopleFirst @themarketingsoc @leopoldajami

What a special night to come together, to celebrate great work, and yes - to pick up an award or two! Thank you to our colleagues for passion and dedication, our partners for trust and collaboration, and our peers for inspiration. #2024MEPRAAwards #PeopleFirst #WorkAtWeber #Communications #PR @mepra_org

What a thrill this was – contributing value by combining great people, great content and great platforms! Weber Shandwick is a long-standing proud partner of Think Equal, an initiative by The Marketing Society that aims to accelerate gender equality in leadership across the marcomms industry in the GCC. As part of our contribution, we hosted ‘The Art & Science of Ethical Persuasion’ – a fabulous gathering at MCN Hive, with a special science-based workshop by Leopold Ajami, a certified trainer on ethical persuasion, which is a skill with great relevance for accelerating the move to more women in leadership. We also shared a snapshot of the latest data on where we are in terms of gender diversity in marcomms leadership across the regional industry. (Spoiler alert = much more to do, but also lots of optimism and momentum, stay tuned for details!) #WomenLeaders #Marcomms #PR #Communications #EthicalPersausion #Influence #WorkAtWeber #PeopleFirst @themarketingsoc @leopoldajami
